In a new interview with Rolling Stone, vocalist Sammy Hagar (ex-Van Halen) discussed his current activities with his bands the Circle and Chickenfoot. An excerpt from the story is available below:

Hagar formed the Circle last year with Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony, guitarist Vic Johnson and drummer Jason Bonham. Their set is centered around tunes by Van Halen, Montrose, Led Zeppelin and Hagar's solo career. Chickenfoot features Hagar and Anthony alongside Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and guitarist Joe Satriani. They've released two albums and only play original material onstage. "I love Chickenfoot as much as the Circle," says Hagar. "But I get horny when I'm in Chickenfoot because I want to play some of my other songs."

Chickenfoot have been largely inactive since 2012 when they toured with Kenny Aronoff on drums due to Chad Smith's busy schedule with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. "Joe really keeps Chickenfoot's foot on the fire," says Hagar. "He really wants the band to stay together, and we have definitely not broken up."

Their 2011 LP Chickenfoot III was a commercial disappointment and Hagar has no interest in recording another one, but the group did come together recently to cut a new tune. The process began when Smith had an opening in his schedule and Satriani sent around some music he had put together. "I wrote the lyrics while on an airplane to Cabo," says Hagar. "It's a dark tune, but it's fucking cool. I'm thinking about calling it 'Divine Termination.' It's a really raw production and a giant step for the 'Foot." Hagar hopes to get the song to fans sometime next year, possibly by giving it away alongside a new Circle track when fans buy tickets for the proposed tour.

Praise for Are We Having Any Fun Yet?:

“When a guy writes a hit song called ‘Mas Tequila,’ you know he can throw a serious party. And after touring all over the world for the last 30 years, my brutha Sammy Hagar has gained a serious appreciation for great food. So, there’s nobody better than the Red Rocker himself to bring you ‘The Best of Both Worlds’ and to show you that 'There's Only One Way To Rock Cook.'” - Guy Fieri

“The only thing I’m allergic to is bad music and bad food! So what I’m telling you is that Sammy’s cookbook is just what Dr. Feelgood ordered!! This book you’re holding has all the recipes for good food, good music, and one hell of a party!!” - Tommy Lee

“I'm so excited about this book I can't tell you. Yesterday I read half of it in one sitting – I couldn't put it down and I wrote it! Ha. It was so much fun thinking of all my favorite food I've eaten in my life going back to my grandparents' and my mom’s home cooking. I can't wait till all Redheads get your hands on this one - it really explains who I am and where I am at in my life today. It truly is a manual for my personal lifestyle which I'm not complaining about - ha!” - Sammy Hagar.
